Until further notice, to adhere to CDC's recommended sanitation guidelines and to promote social distancing, meet & greets and adoptions are by appointment only. To potentially adopt him , please send an application (found on our website azsmalldog.org) to [email protected]. Gus Gus is a dashing young prince looking for his Cinderella! He is a 1.5 year old Chihuahua/ Yorkshire Terrier mix that weighs 19 pounds full grown. Gus is a very shy boy that will only be friends with humans that his Cinderella properly introduces to him. He is a protective boy that wants to keep his princess safe. Gus has done well with most adults and needs a home with no children under the age of 18. He has not been opposed to any four legged companions and may enjoy having another canine or feline companion to bond with. Gus enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes and cats too! Gus knows how to win over your heart by showing off the cutest tricks including begging for a pet or treat! He is house broken, kennel trained, knows how to use a doggy door, walks good on a leash and rides well in the car. Gus Gus will require a patient home willing to let him adjust and warm up to new people at his own pace. He can be food and treat possessive and absolutely despises sharing. It is recommended that his new Cinderella help him over come his quirks and seek out some training to fully round out his manners. Gus Gus loves to sing about his Cinderelly and would not do well in an apartment environment. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, vet checked and microchipped. His adoption fee is $200 which includes a free vet visit. To make an appointment to meet him please email [email protected] or call the shelter at 602-944-2440.
